♫ "Change... Yeah, A Change... Would Do You Good" ♪

Diana,  Let me be the first one to wish you the best in your new adventure.  You are on my autobuy list of authors and will remain there.  I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and something way better is waiting for you down the road.  It happened to me.  I'm on your newsletter list and I'll keep checking your website and look forward to the day when I can buy another one of your great titles.  In the meantime, I'll just reread the ones I've got  .

That's not fair sweetie.  You rock as a writer for SRS. You have always been a auto read for me. Ive just about  read all of  your books too.

Least keep in touch over at FB allright.

I don't care what you decide to write next--mystery, fantasy, straight romance, SF, humor--I'm there. You're one of my favorite writers.

Hate the moving.  Love the moving crew.

Best of luck with the change, m'dear.  Your heroes totally rock, I love the humor in your books, and you always keep my turning pages.  So I'll be waiting and watching your website to find out when I can get another fix of Diana Duncan heroes.  (They're so YUMMY!)

I've been through valleys like this myself.  Just keep writing -- it's really hard to get the momentum back if you stop at all!  {{{HUGS}}}

I have enjoyed reading your books and will look for you on the shelves as I know you will end up publishing more books. 

Diana, I can't tell you how sorry I am to read that you're no longer blogging here, or have any future releases with SRS.  I'm a big fan of your exciting, sexy and funny books, and these blogs which many times have made my day.  And I'll be cheering for you loudly at the RITA awards next month..as well as continuing to follow your career through your website so that I don't miss any new Diana Duncan releases. 

Change is scary, but sometimes for the best, and GOOD LUCK to you!

But good things do come around.  I want to say that was the absolute sincerest goodbye i've seen or read in a long time.  Shows what type of person you really are.

You'll find a new niche, and rock the world. 

Best of everything...

Nini :)

Dear Diana,

You said "Be nice" so I will be, but I don't feel very nice. It's my birthday today and I opened my email and the very first one I read was your news. What ARE they thinking? From your very first book, you had me hooked and I became of those "autobuy" fans. I even wrote to you about how much I loved your book. Maybe you could become of those self-publishing authors, sell a few million books, and then we could all tell certain people, "Hah, see what  you gave up!" I don't keep many of my paperbacks; I tend to share or donate to charity. However, yours have been "keepers". To show what league you're in in by opinion, my other "keeper" authors are Christina Dodd, Janet Chapman, Day Leclaire, and a few others here and there when I find one I REALLY enjoy. I wish you all the best as you face new challenges and whatever you do, DON'T stop writing. Your MANY fans will look forward with great anticipation to your next book and bless the publisher who takes notice of your talent for telling WONDERFUL stories.

Diana,

I am flabbergasted by your blog today! I'm not sure I understand how you could not have any books coming out for SRS when (to me a very longtime HQ reader) your books EPITOMIZE the line. I know when I pick up a Diana Duncan book I'd better have a few hours free because there is no way it's getting put down until I read THE END. You can bet your sweet bippy that I will be following you wherever you land - and it will be somewhere great because of your talent for creating such phenomenal heroes and heroines, the way your action flows and good grief the humor! OMG, your humor is out of this flipping world. I know you are destined for wonderful, huge and exciting projects. I realy hope that I don't actually have to wait two years to read another Diana Duncan project!! 

If anyone from Harlequin is reading this, please reconsider!!! You are losing a gem. She's like the Hope Diamond! Wthout the curse, of course! Good luck Di. And from one BRAT to another, happy moving!

Like so many others, I am saddened and shocked to read this.  I am not a fan of those love in day books, until I read yours and each one of your books pulled me more in than the last.  I was so looking forward to all of the other men attached to family to get their stories told.  I hope you are able to find another publisher for your books, I always enjoyed them.

Diana

I've always been a fan of yours  Your 24 hours books are favorites of mine. I am sure there will be more Diana Duncan books.  Thanks for your contribution here on the Community boards.

wj

but not really, because we'll be following where ever you go ;) (Sounds a bit stalker'ish doesn't it? *G*)

 ((hugs)) I'm proud of you and totally expect to see your name on the NY Times bestseller list one of these years coming up, you are so full of talent, I can't wait to see where this road takes you.   

P.S. Can I borrow the movers... just for a week... or two *G* 

Hey Di! 

Oh god, been there and done that as a military brat too. New things, oh yay, new duty station, oh yippee.  But like you, I found those changes have helped me in my life to be adaptable and strong. You can't keep me down. I've found if one path is closed, there's  always another one--if you're looking. I also learned to be tough. Don't tell me I can't do something--I'll prove you wrong.

Now, please remember, Sia's Doubt Demon Slaying business is always in full force and going strong. Have boots Will Travel!   All I need, as you know, is some paper towels to wipe away the blood--especially for my boots.  Dang, demon blood is so hard on good leather. Oh and I need Danny's Demon slaying clean up service, You slay 'em we spray'em away.

All joking aside:  Diana, you are a skilled writer and you write stories that people want to read or you wouldn't have made the RITA FINALS nor would you have made the Romantic Times Book of the Year Finalist for 2009.  Keep that in mind and don't doubt yourself or let anyone call into question your abilitiy to write a good story. 

I love your stories as do many readers, I love your humor and sense of fun you bring to dangerous situations. Your characters are 3 dimensional, you have a gift for setting up not only external conflict but internal conflict and then taking that internal conflict between your two MC and pitting those insecurities against one another. When your characters win over that conflict it leaves me, as reader, satisfied. It feels real. That's all you can ask for from your readers, satisfaction. I haven't seen a book you've written fall short there, ever!

I'm sorry to see you leave after 5 long years. Spread your wings a bit. There will be others who will appreciate your skills.  One foot in front of the other and before you know it, you will have climbed up the next mountain.

Regardless of who you write for?  I see a Diana Ducan book, I'll buy it, because I know what I'm getting--an excellent story and a satisfying read.

Hi Diana,

I have been a HUGE fan since you were first published. I can't believe I won't be able to read your wonderful stories for a while - but I know you'll be back. Writing is in your blood and publishers know talent. You will soon be back! And I will be buying your wonderful stories SOON!!!!!!!

Hugs from Down Under from a great fan
